The hospital scene was way before any acts of repentance. That was when Michael was still demanding that he contrl the family in all matters.

MOre ironic, earlier in the movie he tells Vincent wno wants to lead an illegitimate life, "Youu are what you are."

When Michael gives it all up and it goes to Vincent by default, Michael says "I can't do it any more."

It is COnnie who manipulated this transfer, and Connie who remains unrepentant, not Michael.
